What is the easiest way to add a "Run Deferred" button to a launch form? I'd like to have a tool that has the ability to be run live, or deferred. So in essence 2 buttons on the launch page one for "Run" and one for "Run Deferred". What is the code required to do so, or the easiest way to get this to work?
-Thanks

Hi,

Add a hidden variable named IBIMR_defer and onclick of the Run Deferred button set this variable to 'defer'. Leave it blank when Run is clicked. Pass this to the fex along with other form params.


thanks

Call it a JavaScript to do the Page submit, if it is Deferred submit the page with the Hidden element IBIMR_Defer = 'Defer'. This will submit the report for deferred execution instead of instant output.

I will posst you some code shortly.


Thanks,

Ramkumar.

Call the runReportDefer() function in the Run Deferred Button's Onclick event.

This is the simple way.


Thanks,
